Hey friends welcome back to the old-fashioned on-purpose podcast so here on the show as you know we talk a lot about choosing the more old-fashioned path

And a lot of times that manifests itself in a very practical way where we're talking about composting or permaculture or

cooking from scratch or raising our own suit. I think there's another side of the old-fashioned

lifestyle that maybe we don't give enough time to.

And sometimes the most old-fashioned way to be is when we're making a choice on how we think and

move through life.

I don't know about you, but I see a very pervasive mindset in our modern culture. And it's

this idea that life happens to us and that maybe we're simply victims of our circumstances

and there's not much we can do to change the

trajectory of what we're doing. And when I see so many people manifesting

this in their own lives and and what they're doing, I think one of the most

powerful old-fashioned things we can do is to push back against

that mindset. So today I am so thrilled to be joined by Mike Roberts of the Converse Cowboy.

Now he is not a homesteader, but he is very heavily involved

in the Cowboy and Western lifestyle.

And there's a lot of crossover there.

You guys know that I'm always been a horse girl

and horses are how I got into this lifestyle so I definitely

fill some kinship there. But what initially drew me to Mike is his ability to dive

deep into mindset and philosophy from a very down to earth perspective. and

you've probably seen some of his quotes go viral on Instagram. He's a guy with a cowboy hat holding a poster board with the really impactful words. So Mike, I am so excited to have you here today

and I can't wait for this conversation.
